Updating the firmware for base devices
All base devices can be updated with newer firmware.
To find out which generation your easyE4 device belongs to, you can check the device
menu or, during online communication with the easyE4 base device, the information in
Communication view/HW Info tab.
If there is a program on the base device, the program will be left unchanged when the
firmware is updated. Retentive data will remain unchanged as well.
Download the firmware you want from Download Center – Software to your com-
puter.
Connect an empty microSD memory card (FAT format) to your computer.
Use your computer to unzip the downloaded firmware to the ROOT directory in the
microSD memory card.

depend on the bootloader version on the base device, as shown below:
Unzipped files

Configuration file "e4update.ini"
During online communication with the easyE4 base device, the bootloader version that
is found on the device will be shown in Communication view/HW Info tab .

Check the parameters in the "e4update.ini" configuration file and adjust them as
necessary. In firmware version V1.12 and higher, the following values will be set
by default:
